Olivia Rodrigo says Lorde’s ‘Royals’ “changed the trajectory” of her life
Olivia Rodrigo has revealed that listening to Lorde‘s ‘Royals’ changed “the trajectory” of her life.Speaking to Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Jon Batiste, Cynthia Erivo and Julia Michaels’ Songwriter Roundtable interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Rodrigo spoke of the first time she had heard the Lorde song on the radio and went on to explain how it had impacted her so deeply.“I remember hearing that song on the radio at the time… It was one of those ‘pinch me’ moments where you always remember, a snapshot memory, like, ‘Oh my God, what is this?!’ Changes the trajectory of your life,” Rodrigo called to her fellow musicians.“I remember listening to it as I first started writing songs and just being blown away by her lyrics that are just about being a teenager living in the suburbs,” Rodrigo went on to explain. “I just remember never hearing my life be put into a song like that where it just made being young and doing these seemingly unimportant things feel so sacred.”Most recently, the singer-songwriter discussed the inspiration behind some of the “emo” lyrics in her recent songs ‘Lacy’ and ‘All-American Bitch’.Speaking on the Kelly Clarkson Show, Rodrigo gave insight into how she conceived the lyrics for the outro of ‘Lacy’ – “And I despise my jealous eyes and how hard they fell for you / Yeah, I despise my rotten mind and how much it worships you.”“Very emo of me, writing that,” Rodrigo told Clarkson, laughing.

Lorde on how she “took two handfuls of mushrooms”, “felt god” and “merged with her audience”
Lorde has shared a new newsletter entry with fans, detailing how she “took two handfuls of mushrooms”, “felt god” and “merged with her audience”.The singer headed out on a short European festival tour last month, in which she shared revamped versions of songs from her back catalogue.Detailing memories from the tour and more in the newsletter, she wrote: “Earlier this year, I ate two handfuls of mushrooms, solid doses that tasted like green dirt.“I got a lot of information about what my body had been through in our time so far, what it needed, where God was and where God wasn’t; I felt in my bones how destabilising it is to leave home and start a new life the way I did.“I also saw that my body is completely magnificent, and that hating it is as futile as hating a tree; that I truly, truly love doing my job, and that my life is like a beautiful tapestry, and every inch of it is precious and has meaning.”She added that she is now leaving her “childhood working decade” and entering “the one that comes next”.Of the gigs, she added: “It was good to change gears and get out of my head. I put effort into the show, changing the setlist and arrangements, it was cool how you picked up on that, and it felt good dancing to the new versions with you, looking out at you, all sweaty with your friends, all on the same drugs.“I felt the throb of history that’s under this music now, how each year makes these songs feel more like collectively written and sung pieces.
